BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. ?,042, dated April 23, 1889. Application filed July 18, 1888. Serial No. 280,242. (No inodel.)

This invention consists in a bottle or other receptacle of like nature having a thickened 7 portion at one side of its top, through which is formed a mouth or discharge-orifice opening into a circular recess larger than the orifice for the reception of the upper part of the stopper and of the wax or other material em- ,ployed to seal the stopper, and an inclined spoutropening fromoneside of said recess to guide the lipuid poured from the bottle, allof which I wil now proceed to describe.

Of the accompanying drawings, forming a part 'of this specification, Figure 1 represents aperspective view of a bottle or like receptacle embodying my invention. Fig. 2 repre-- sents a top view of the same. Fig. 3 represents a vertical section. Fig. 4 represents a similar section showing the stopper and the sealing material in place.

The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the views.

In the drawings, a represents a bottle made Without the usual neck and having a substantially fiat top. The bottle may be of any desired general form, as cylindrical or polygonal, and its sides may be straight, or parallel, or curved, or inclined, and it may be of any suitable material.

1) represents a cavity formed vin the top of the bottle, a part, b, of said cavity extending through one side of the bottle, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and constituting a spout. From the bottom of said'cavity the mouth or discharge-orifice d of the bottle extends downwardly through the top of the bottle, said top being preferably thickened, as shown in Fig.

project above the top of the bottle.

3, at the side in which the cavity and orifice are formed. The bottom of the spout portion 1) of the cavity is inclined upwardly, as shown, to give the said portion the character of a spout, said inclination causing the liquid being poured from the bottle to flow from the side of the bottle without clinging to and runnin g along said side.

The cavity 1) entirely surrounds the orifice Cl and forms an annular pocket or receptacle around the upper end of the stopper f when the latter is in place, which pocket receives the wax g, used to seal the stopper. (See Fig.

4.) It will beseen that by the depression .of

the mouth of the orifice d below the. top of the bottle the stopper is depressed, so that its upperend, even when left projecting considerably above the Iriouth of the orifice, doesnot The cavity around the orifice not only provides a pouring-spout, as stated, but also protects the wax or sealing material.

This improvement niay be applied to jugs as well as to bottles.

I claim.

As an improvement in bottles, the hereindescribed bottle having a thickened portion at one side of its top, the mouth or dischargeorifice extending through said thickened portion and a circular recess in the thickened portion around and larger than the mouth, and the inclined spout opening from one side of said recess, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof Ihave signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this l2th day of July, A. D. 1888.
